“Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they have the heart.” – Elizabeth Andrew

Due to weather conditions and the safety of our drivers - All Tuesday deliveries will occur on Wednesday. Thanks for your understanding.

Who knew the first day of Spring would be this chilly?! Luckily, Sarah & Kailey are warming our hearts with Spring Treat Bags for all of our clients. GS Troop 57298, thank you for your thoughtfulness!

We love our drivers! Thank you C4 Technical Services team for delivering smiles (& meals too)!

Thank you, Eagan's Lions Club for your generosity in donation dollars & endless support of our local program.

The Lions’ motto is: We Serve. With this as our basic premise, our club strives to support our community by participating in activities that improve neighbors’ lives and by supporting organizations with similar goals and values. Our international target causes are Diabetes, Environment, Hunger, Vision and Childhood Cancer, but we consider the merits of all support requests submitted by individuals and organizations around Dakota County.

If you know an Eagan Lion, they can serve as your sponsor and facilitate your membership in our club. We meet every third Monday at 6:30 pm in the downstairs banquet room at Cedarvale Lanes in Eagan, and you can visit our page (www.facebook.com/eaganlions) or website (www.eaganlions.com) to learn more about club activities and the membership process.

Mr. Heat Miser may be winning the battle right now but when his brother shows, we will be prepared! Thank you Metro MOW for the "Blizzard Bags" chock-full of shelf safe food, in case there comes a day that is unsafe for our drivers to be on the roads.

For over 12 years St. John Neumann Catholic Church (Eagan) has included our program on their annual "Giving Tree". With so many deserving non-profits out there, we are filled with gratitude. Thank you to the church & their generous parishioners! It is through your generosity that we can continue to serve!
